Duke (17-29) jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the opening frame. Right fielder Grant McCabe led off the game with an infield single. After center fielder Will Piwnica-Worms drew a one-out walk, catcher Mike Rosenfeld lined an RBI-single to left center to bring in McCabe.

Rosenfeld singled to begin the fourth and later scored on a wild pitch to put the Blue Devils up 2-0.

Duke scored four runs with two outs in the fifth to take a 6-0 lead. Piwnica-Worms got the inning going with a two-run homer to left. It was the sixth long ball of the year for Piwnica-Worms and the 17th of his career. Rosenfeld followed with a double to right center. Third baseman Jordan Betts then connected with a 0-1 pitch and sent a two-run jack over the wall in right. It was the fourth homer of the season for Betts and the fifth of his career.

The Blue Devils added three runs in the eighth to push their lead to 9-0. Designated hitter David Perkins and second baseman Mark Lumpa both singled to begin the inning. After shortstop Angelo La Bruna moved both runners up a base with a sacrifice bunt, McCabe drove Perkins in with an RBI-single through the left side. Left fielder Andrew Istler then lined an RBI-single to right center to plate Lumpa. Following a walk to Piwnica-Worms, Rosenfeld lifted a sacrifice fly to right to score McCabe.

Longwood (22-19) finally got on the board in the bottom half of the eighth, scoring on a two-run double by left fielder Robby Newman.
